What is Amlip (Amlodipine Besilate) used for?

Amlip (Amlodipine Besilate) is an oral calcium channel blocker used to treat patients suffering from hypertension or angina. The medication relaxes blood vessels throughout the body to allow easier circulation and reduce the amount of work placed on the heart. This can reduce the occurrence of symptoms associated with these conditions such as faintness, tinnitus, vertigo, or chest pain. Your doctor may also recommend the use of this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Amlip (Amlodipine Besilate)?

The typical dosage is one tablet administered each day, but your individual instructions will depend on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal or snack is suggested before use if you experience nausea. Do not chew, split, or crush the tablets prior to use as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
